Okafor also asked the technicians to contact him over the weekend and tell him who filed the OSHA complaint,” the suit says.
An employee, Rachel Snyder, told Okafor she would not submit to a polygraph test, the lawsuit says.
“Okafor terminated Snyder’s employment with Woodman Pharmacy,” the lawsuit charges.

The suit contends that the pharmacy discriminated against Snyder by terminating her employment.
The lawsuit seeks to enjoin and restrain the pharmacy, payment of lost wages and benefits, including interest, removal of disciplinary action from Snyder’s record, punitive damages and more.
Reached Wednesday, Okafor disagreed with the lawsuit’s contentions, saying: “I don’t think that’s the case.” He declined to elaborate and referred questions to an attorney.
